The Race

So, this past weekend was the big race. I’m disappointed to report that I wasn’t able to participate in the ½ marathon, but opted to do the 10K instead. My knee is still giving me problems and I didn’t want to injure it more or slow my running partner down. I’m sure it was for the best, but that doesn’t really make me feel much better. All my hard work and training and I couldn’t go the distance. It also makes me wonder about my ability to finish a full marathon—something I’ve dreamed about doing for a couple years now. The full was suppose to be the next step after this (my 2nd) half, but maybe I’ll have to try another ½ later this year or next year before diving into the full.

For now, I’m going to start doing more cycling and maybe start swimming to help reduce the amount of pounding on my knees. Hopefully in a few months, it’ll be like new again.
